OneTrust provides a cloud-based platform that helps organizations manage data privacy, governance, risk and compliance (GRC), ethics, and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) needs. It inventories and visualizes data (data sprawl), tracks where data is stored and how it’s used, and supports policies, consent, vendor risk, audits, and ESG reporting. Its subscription-based software combines multiple modules so customers can govern their data, comply with laws across regions, and address ethics and ESG responsibilities in one system. The company differentiates itself by offering a broad, integrated suite that covers privacy, governance, ethics, and ESG in a single platform rather than relying on piecemeal tools, enabling customers to manage data responsibly at scale. Its goal is to help businesses understand their data, stay compliant with regulatory requirements, and build trust with customers by governing data ethically and transparently.
